Not opening correct application

I updated my iMac today via the Apple upload, and since, I have had a problem with opening readable pages, such as pdf files, and another named a ".do" file. Now, I have to save (to my desktop seems easiest) and then double click the .pdf file I just saved (for example) and that will open it in adobe.
How can I set a preference (again) for any pdf files to automatically open in adobe reader?
Thanks in advance
F

no good. When I highlight a pdf file, that has been saved on my desktop, If I then hit C+1 all I get is that 'clunk' tone. If I right click on the saved pdf file, I get a dropdown menu that allows me to choos 'open with' and the adobe reader is one of the choices...HOWEVER, there is no 'open files like this' choice.
Also, if I right click in the button for the file in the active web page, without saving first to my desktop, a dropdown menu appears, but 'open with' is not available as a choice....just 'open link in new window, open link in new tab, save, save as...etc

Have you tried using the integrated facebook application on the phone?
With regards to accessing facebook using your browser, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Make sure that you have stable internet connection. Try using Wifi if you are currently using 3g.
2. Power cycle: turn off the device. Remove the battery. After a few minutes, turn the battery back and switch on the device.
3. If still the same, try restoring the phone back to its default settings (personal data will not be deleted.
If your phone is not working properly, you can reset some settings to their original values.
End all active calls and connections.
Select > Settings and Phone > Phone management > Factory settings > Restore .
If prompted, enter the security code.
4. If no progress, you can check for updates or reinstall the software using Nokia Suite.

I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade and now iphoto will not open correctly anymore. please help

I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade and now iphoto will not open correctly anymore. it stays on the opening screen and the message
shows up that I must update the mediathek. If I click on update the program shuts down. How can I fix this?

I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade
Does that mean, you are running iPhoto 9.6 on MacOS X 10.10.1 Yosemite? Or are you using an older MacOS X? "New" iPhoto is relative and depends on your system.
If I click on update the program shuts down. How can I fix this?
Does "shut down" mean it crashes? Then post please the error log from the error panel here - copy and paste the report into your next answer (the first 50 lines should suffice)
Where is your iPhoto Library (Mediathek) stored? Have you moved it to an external drive, or is it still in your Pictures folder (the order "Bilder")?

Mail attachments in leopard do not open correctly

I have noticed my mail attachments on my macbook do not open correctly. When I get attachments in mail on my IMac using, Tiger they appear directly under the e-mail. Even quicktime apps. On my macbook, which is using leopard, they usually are in the form of am attachment you must click on which in turn opens another window. Today I got a Merry Christmas wave sent to me. It works fine on my IMac. It is a mime file. On my macbook it doesn't do anything. It just says Merry Christmas. No wave, no turning into Santa, nothing! They are both there in the same spot, (no attachment to click on in the macbook) all my mail preferences are identical, but it doesn't work. Can anyone please tell me why? I am still new to a mac and frustrated. Thanks

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

hey, writing this from my phone. Please pardon how everything is typed. Quick question. Just downloaded the pear square on program. But now I can not open any applications. I beloved the message that popped up was something along the lines of 'do not have permission to access" ...so... I don't know whether or not I downloaded a virus or not. I was also obviously wondering how I might go about fixing this? -Thank you for your timeo

Hello SnNick,
Rename the opm.db file.
Close the Creative Cloud application if it's running.
Navigate to the OOBE folder.

Rename the opm.db file to opm_old.db
Launch Creative Cloud
Make sure that you unhide the hidden files of your computer or else you will not fir "AppData" folder.
Do let me knew if it worked or not.

Link to a file in the jsp page does not open correctly

Hi all,
I have a JSP application which is similar to a discussion forum and the messages usually carry a link to an attachment file which could be of any extension.
The client pool I am dealing with are concerned only with MS Word/Excel/PPT files. When the user clicks on the file, a new browser window opens but it does not open the file in the correct application. I know that browsers can display Doc, ppt and xls files.
In my case, the browser just shows some garbage. THe link is to the correct file, I know that because I can right click and download the file and then open it in the correct application. But I want browser to find the application and open the file.
Can somebody give me hints as to what may be wrong?
Also, I am in the development stage and therefore I have only 100 odd messages in the database. Many have attachements. But only one attachment to a particular message works well..ie the browser finds MS Word and displays the doc.
Why not the remaining doc/ppt files?
Help please!!
Thanks in advance.
